The proposal immediately garnered everyone's support, and they all chimed in, "Then let Ms. Stella grace us with a piece."
I glanced at the impostor, her innocent expression masking her malicious delight.
Even Celine joined in, "That's a splendid idea."
Of course, I knew the impostor was aware of my memory loss. How could I possibly play the piano?
The crowd quickly cleared a path to the piano. As I gazed at it, it seemed exactly like the one from my recurring dreams.
Everyone seemed to be waiting for me.
Atlas's hand on my waist tightened. I looked up at him, and he gazed back, saying, "Don't worry, I'll play for you. It's been a while since I played for you."
He must have wanted to shield me. He probably feared I couldn't do it.
The piano used to be Stella's forte. Atlas once told me they won a piano competition together.
"Atlas!” the impostor cooed, wrapping her arms around Atlas's. “I'd like to learn from Stella’s piano skills. Don't ruin this for me, okay? It's been my dream to listen to her play.”
Atlas's eyes turned cold.
She paused, then turned to me, "You can’t do it, can you?”
Everyone looked at me, their skepticism evident. The impostor wanted to expose me, and everyone in the hall understood that.
I smiled at her. "How could I disappoint you?”
